Group update!
Hello everyone. Well as founder of this group i'd like to discuss somethings. The original intention of this group was wonderful. The core reason for starting this group was to see artist and writers ban together and do short manga projects and see who's work was closest to the real thing mainstream wise.
Also members would work together and learn from each other. We originally were hosting contest.
I would like to get back to that.
I know, I get it everyone has a life and is busy with school etc... But let's take time out to be creative and push our limits. I want to see who has the next big manga comic. I'd love to witness that. And even

That manga definitely deserves its Guinness certificate. Although I didn't read more than few volumes, it's easy to tell why it's so popular and famous. Even though I wasn't too interested in the story (and since I haven't read it long enough, I can't say if it had been interesting to me later on), I can't deny how pleasant and addicting it was to read for it's visual story telling tricks, simple and clear artwork and distinct character designs. The manga just sucks the reader in right from the start and encourages to read it further. That's the effect aspiring manga artists should aim for, among with coming up with a story that intrigues the readers.
Maybe I should give it another shot one day
